More About the LBD Feature
Use any version of the
CV XE GIS (requires Windows and Internet) to develop a Location-Based Demographic-Economic
Report (LBD feature) for any U.S. address. Use this tool for as many addresses as desired. This includes the no fee version available to
ProximityOne User Group members
(no cost, join here). See below for details on using this feature.

LBD Batch Applications

For production applications, use the LBD batch processing tool. It operates with a simple command operation with no GUI/user interface.

Illustrating Results of LBD Geocoded Address
The following view shows results of using the LBD operation with two addresses.
This view shows the two geocoded addresses as red square markers labeled with the census block code.
A mini-profile for the upper marker/address by pointer is displayed.
The view also shows patterns of median housing value by block group with a semi-transparent fill pattern.
See about list of subject matter items below.

The point/address data are available in CSV, dBase and other formats. The following view shows a portion of the data
in a spreadsheet layout.

Any given address or location is contained with several types of statistical areas (e.g. census tract
or block group) and political areas (e.g. city
or county). We may want to know the demographic-economic characteristics of a location for any one or several of these
geographies.

Location-Based Demographic Analytics using CV XE GIS ... goto top
Follow these steps to get started.
You will need your ProximityOne
User Group or licensed CV XE GIS user UserID and password.

If the CV XE GIS software is not installed ...
 Install CV XE GIS ..
.. run installer
If you have installed CV XE GIS but have not updated since 4/12/18 ...
 Run the CV XE GIS installer update
.. when you run update, it will not modify your start-up settings.
.. you may need to update Settings with a default address.

Unzip the LBD GIS Demonstration Project
Using the "LBD_KC" GIS project, you can emulate the map view shown above. This project is not required to perform LBD operations.
- Unzip the LBD_KC zip file to the new folder c:\lbd
- Start CV XE GIS; use File>Open>Dialog to open the project file c:\lbd\lbd_kc.gis. Proceed with next steps.

How this works ... enter an address and the LBD form appears (see below). Do this repeatedly for the same address, viewing the demographics for different types
of geographic summary levels. Once done with that address, enter a different address and perform the same procedures. Continue this process for many addresses (or stop after the first one).
When you are finished entering addresses, enter a null address value and the process ends. When the process ends, a new shapefile of the address points is developed and
added to the existing project. View your address locations in a map. Add that shapefile to any GIS project.

2. Entering an address .. you will see a prompt to enter an address.
The default address (optionally change in Settings) is [4525 Oak St, Kansas City, MO 64111].
Use the default address or enter your own fully formed one line address structured similar to the example.
The ZIP code is not required but is recommended.
3. Click OK button and the profile appears for the address (click graphic for larger view):LBD Form
The structure and use of the above form is reviewed below.

4. The above display summarizes characteristics of the address and provides a demographic profile
-- based on the block group containing the location.
-- see in the form that the total population of this block group is 1,119 (for the default address).

5. Optionally view the demographic-economic profile for the census tract or ZIP code area containing the location.
5.1. the start-up view for an address shows demographic data for the block group containing the address.
-- optionally choose a different geographic using the GeoLevel dropdown highlighted in the above graphic.
-- available options include tract, ZIP code, school district.
5.2. close the form (X in upper right corner) .. returning you to the address prompt.
5.3. without changing the address (though you could), click the OK button and the form reappears.
-- see in the form that the total population of this tract is 1,834 (for the default address).

6. The Radius nor Data Year feature are active in this version.

7. Continue to enter additional addresses as desired.
-- when done, enter a blank (no value address) and click OK.
-- this ends the process and creates a shapefile for all addresses enter.
-- the shapefile is added to the GIS project and the locations can be in the map.

Using the LBD Form ... goto top
This subsection reviews the LBD Form (shown above)
 Results for this Address -- presents the source address.
 Corresponding latitude, longitude and
census block are shown for the address location.
 The Settings section is used to set values for subsequent look-ups.
-- use the GeoLevel dropdown to optionally select a different geographic summary level (see notes above)
-- use the Data Year selection to choose a different year.
the default year is 2016; using the ACS 2016 5-year estimates.
-- use the Radius setting to set the radius for geographies to be include in the demographic report.
 The Geographies section presents the matched address as formally structured.
-- this section also lists intersection geographies such as the school district.
 The next section presents the demographic-economic profile for the geographic area containing the location.
-- this is a scroll section providing the item name, value and percent.
 The final portion presents the API calls used to develop the report (may not be visible on your version).

View the LBD Report in HTML ... goto top
Click the ShowHTML button at the top of the form to view the content structured in HTML.
The HTML files generated for the default address are shown below. The name of the file generated is placed in the c:\cvxe (installation) folder.
 Block group (lbreportBG290950066002.htm)
 Census Tract (lbreportTract29095006600.htm)
